Development of Structure for the Representation and Manipulation of SophisticatedKnowledge in Intelligent Systems

摘要

The central focus of the research was the development of a unified theory forreasoning under uncertainty in knowledge base systems. In particular an effort was made to bring together the concepts of fuzziness, lack of specificity, randomness, and monotonicity, under one framework. A number of issues relating to this goal were investigated. This effort resulted in 56 submitted papers of which 49 have been published and 7 are to appear in the near future. Keywords: Aggregation operators, Multivalued variables, Integer programming, Neural nets, Fuzzy sets. (kr)
